Submerged in kachi ghani mustard oil heated to smoking point and cooled, then sun-matured for 4 to 6 days with daily turning.

Raw Mango, Kachi Ghani Mustard Oil, Salt, Mustard Seeds, Fennel, Fenugreek, Coriander, Cumin, Nigella, Red Chilli Powder, Turmeric, Black Pepper

Step 1: Mango Selection and Drying Raw, unripe mangoes, are cut into uniform pieces and mixed with turmeric and salt. They are sun-dried for 1 to 1.5 days, reducing moisture and concentrating natural acids that act as preservatives.

Step 2: Spice Tempering Mustard seeds, fennel, fenugreek, coriander, cumin, nigella, and red chilli are roasted fresh in small batches. They are coarsely ground by hand—not powdered, not fine-ground. Coarse grinding preserves texture and flavor intensity that mass-produced pickle has lost.

Step 3: Mango and Spice Union The sun-dried mango is combined with freshly ground spices. The mixture is lightly smoked over a low flame. This smoking step—rarely done in commercial production—infuses the mango with depth and naturally inhibits microbial growth without any chemical intervention.

Step 4: Oil Infusion We use kachi ghani mustard oil—extracted below 40–50°C without heat or chemicals. Unlike refined oils or the cottonseed oil used in mass-market brands, kachi ghani retains omega-3s, Vitamin E, antioxidants, and natural isothiocyanates with proven antimicrobial properties. The oil is gently heated, cooled, and poured over the spiced mango until fully submerged.

Step 5: Sun-Curing The sealed jar sits in direct sunlight for 4 to 6 days. Every 2 days, it is gently shaken for even oil distribution. This sun-curing develops flavor and stability. By day 6, the mango has absorbed the spices completely.

Why this method works: every step removes water, concentrates natural acids, and leverages the antimicrobial power of mustard oil and spices. No preservatives are needed. The result is stable for 12+ months without refrigeration.

Supports Gut Health: Naturally occurring beneficial bacteria help maintain a healthy digestive system.

Rich in Vitamin C: Traditional fermentation and low-heat processing help preserve naturally occurring Vitamin C.

Source of B Vitamins: Fermentation can naturally produce essential B-complex vitamins.

100% Natural Preservation: Preserved using traditional methods, without artificial preservatives or chemicals.

Clean & Pure Ingredients: Made with simple, wholesome ingredients you can trust.

Keep it dry: Water breeds mold—always use a completely dry spoon.

Store in shade: Keep the jar in a cool, dark cupboard.

Skip the fridge: Natural oil and salt preserve it perfectly at room temperature.
